Brief Answer:
Can be a wart.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The small wound on the finger that you have can be a wart. This can go away by cauterization. In case it is due to a fungal infection then oral antifungal drugs may be needed. You can consult your dermatologist and get the proper treatment done under his guidance.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
